NIDS Oral Cancer Awareness 5K Run/2K Walk

The Northwest Indiana Dental Society is proud to donate funds from our 5k/2k event to the Oral Cancer Foundation. Since the inception of our event in 2018, we have been able to donate $43,000 because of the support of our dental community members and our participants in our events.

The Oral Cancer Foundation is a national public service, non-profit entity designed to reduce suffering and save lives through prevention, education, research, advocacy, and patient support activities. Oral cancer is the largest group of those cancers which fall into the head and neck cancer category.

Your donation is OCF’s source of unrestricted support that impacts every aspect of the foundation’s mission. These gifts enable us to respond more rapidly to new ideas in the battle against oral cancer. Your unrestricted gifts are directed to areas of greatest need and greatest promise as determined by the OCF leadership. They range from funding research, to raising awareness and early detection.
